This application presents a water immersed cMUT membrane transient response to a burst excitation signal.
Both time domain and frequency domainanalysis characterization are presented. Such analysis can be further applied to arrays of cMUT and pMUT membranes, as well as to other transducers such as inertial sensors, optical and mechanical switches, MEMS microphones, among others.
